I agree with everything you said until this, and perhaps I misunderstood you, but Fleming purposefully did not patent his invention as he wanted it to receive the widest possible use and adoption and felt that a patent would restrict its use and development. I sincerely wish his sentiments were shared today...Fleming and his team developed penicillin but didn't patent it.
In 1903 and the first part of 1904, Octave Chanute believed to a certain extent the Wright brothers flew on December 17, 1903. .
Regarding George Spratt, he was a bipolar (mental illness). His letters to the Wright brothers are a total mess. His only historical importance is as a witness. .
They were not even shared at the time, penicillin production processes were patented but the new processes increased production massively. A controversial issue, penicillin is a natural product and cannot be patented but the production processes can, if a company cannot gain any benefit from what may be years of research why should they invest?I agree with everything you said until this, and perhaps I misunderstood you, but Fleming purposefully did not patent his invention as he wanted it to receive the widest possible use and adoption and felt that a patent would restrict its use and development.
